Shiv Kumar Batalvi's - "Tu Vida HoyoN - You Left" (Presentation - Desh Ratna)

TooN Vida HoiyoN Tu vida hoiyoN Mere dil te udaasi CHa gayi, PeeR dil di booNd ban ke AkheeyaaN vich a gayi. Door tak meri nazar Teri paeR nu chumdi rahi, Fer teri paeR RaahaaN di miTi kha gayi. Turan toN pahilaaN si Tere joban te bahaar, Turan piCHoN vekhiya Ki har kali kumla gayi. Us din piCHoN asaaN Na boliya na vekhiya, Ih zabaaN khaamosh ho gayi te nazar pathra gayi. Ishk nu saugaat jihRi PeeR saeN tooN de giyoN, ANt uheeyo peeR ‘Shiv” nu KhaaNdi khaaNdi kha gayi.

Tu Vida HoyoN - You Left You left, And grief cast its pall over me. My pain condensed into a drop And rose into my eye. For a great distance My sight kissed your footprints, Until the trail Was swallowed by the dust of the road. Before you left, There was the bloom of your youth, I turned around after you left And every flower had wilted. Since that day I stopped speaking, I could not see. My tongue was silenced My sight turned to stone. The pain that you gifted To love, Was the pain finally That consumed ‘Shiv’
